Article Abstract
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based models are increasingly being integrated into cardiovascular medicine. Despite promising potential, racial and ethnic biases remain a key concern regarding the development and implementation of AI models in clinical settings.
Objective: This systematic review offers an overview of the accuracy and clinical applicability of AI models for cardiovascular diagnosis and prognosis across diverse racial and ethnic groups.
Method: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across four medical and scientific databases: PubMed, MEDLINE via Ovid, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library, to evaluate racial and ethnic disparities in cardiovascular medicine.
Results: A total of 1704 references were screened, of which 11 articles were included in the final analysis. Applications of AI-based algorithms across different race/ethnic groups were varied and involved diagnosis, prognosis, and imaging segmentation. Among the 11 studies, 9 (82%) concluded that racial/ethnic bias existed, while 2 (18%) found no differences in the outcomes of AI models across various ethnicities.
Conclusion: Our results suggest significant differences in how AI models perform in cardiovascular medicine across diverse racial and ethnic groups.
Clinical Relevance Statement: The increasing integration of AI into cardiovascular medicine highlights the importance of evaluating its performance across diverse populations. This systematic review underscores the critical need to address racial and ethnic disparities in AI-based models to ensure equitable healthcare delivery.

Background: Few studies have comprehensively assessed dermatologic conditions in women, particularly among different racial and ethnic groups.
Objective: This study characterizes common dermatologic diagnoses in adult women (acne), emphasizing conditions disproportionately affecting women of color (WOC) (hidradenitis suppurativa [HS], hypertrophic scars, and scarring and nonscarring alopecia).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from Northwestern Medicine's Enterprise Data Warehouse, covering 637,124 patient visits from 2018 to 2021.
Evaluating lung cancer screening disparities in an integrated healthcare system: barriers and opportunities.
Front Oncol

School of Medicine, Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine, Pasadena, CA, United States.
Rationale: The national average rate of lung cancer screening (LCS) has remained low at roughly 6%, with California's rate among the lowest at 1% compared to all fifty states.
Methods: We enrolled Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) patients eligible for LCS per the USPSTF guidelines published in 2013 and 2021, respectively. Annual and overall rates of completed initial low-dose computed tomography of chest (LDCT) were computed from February 2015 to February 2022.
A Meta-Analysis of Bi-Directional Associations between Sleep Health and Substance Use among U.S. Youth: Racial/Ethnic Differences.

Syracuse University Department of Psychology, 352 Marley Educational Building, Syracuse, NY 13244.
Purpose Of Review: This paper aimed to estimate pooled bi-directional associations between multidimensional sleep health and substance use among youth and investigate whether these associations differed as a function of race/ethnicity.
Recent Findings: Empirical observational studies providing quantitative data on the association of sleep health (duration [sleep obtained per 24 hours], satisfaction [subjective assessment of sleep], alertness [ability to maintain attentive wakefulness], and timing [placement of sleep]) and substance use (i.e.

Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care, Peter O'Donnell Jr. Brain Institute and Department of Psychiatry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, USA.
Background: The participation of Black individuals in clinical trials remains lower than that of other racial and ethnic groups. Substance abuse adds additional barriers to recruitment and retention. While significant attention has been devoted to identifying barriers to recruitment/retention, efforts have been largely unsuccessful in increasing the participation of Black individuals in clinical trials.
